My first lunar image, or: finally a clear sky. YAY!

[wimvb]

First off the imaging details:

Subject: luna, bright near earth object, only rarely visible. Usually when fully illuminated by the sun.

Camera: Huawei P9 Lite, osc

Optics: stock camera lens, fl 108 mm (using digital zoom)

Mount: me

ISO 50, f/2

Integration time: 1/503 s

No calibration frames applied.

Entirely not processed using PixInsight.

The red gradient at the bottom is caused by my neighbour's roof top. The intruding tree is my poor framing.

I probably should have imaged this subject with an Ha filter to increase contrast, but my camera isn't modded. So that would be of little use.

I imaged this object during a rare occurence of clear skies™. The Clear Outside app predicts these conditions to last until 7 pm this evening, after which things will go back to normal again. But at least I got another astro image in.

Btw, I'm not at all frustrated by the sky conditions we're experiencing after 7 pm each day/night.

We see so many dark, bleak, deeply psychological and doom-laden TV series from Scandinavia it's refreshing to see that there is still a sense of fun in Sweden.  Cheers!

To me the tree and neighbour's roof add to the image, try cropping them out and you would have a far less interesting image.

BTW The sky looks amazing, hope it stayed that way.

Unfortunately it stayed that way long enough for me to start hauling out the mount. Once I had that set up and roughly polar aligned, clouds moved in. Two hours later than predicted.

As a final insult came the snow, and then rain.

The plains in Spain, with no rain, look mighty tempting.

Thanks. Did you notice that I used the rule of thirds when framing?

No I hadn't, but it goes to show the old rules were devised for a reason.
